The Arab World witnessed several political uprisings that changed and are still changing the history of certain countries. These events provided the literary scene with new materials and themes to be discussed and represented in fiction. In this research, I intend to track down one of the most significant postcolonial concepts; identity loss and expose the aspirations, dreams and pains of fictional characters who found themselves trapped in such conditions during or after The Arab Spring. For this purpose, I will be exploring fictional works from Egypt, Tunisia and Syria, tracking down the protagonist’s identity crisis and analyzing it from a postcolonial point of view. In doing so, a special focus will be given to five post-Arab Spring novels depicting the aftermath of the Arab Spring in the aforementioned countries. The political upheavals happening in these areas left permanent scars in the lives of its inhabitants which were represented in the selected texts. This study argues that identity crisis and the distortion of peoples’ hopes were among the main results of the political uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa. I will shed light on events surrounding the loss of identity in: Layla Alammar’s Silence is a Sense (2021), Khalid Khalifa’s Death is a Hard Work (2019) (Syria), Omar Robert Hamilton’s The City Always Wins (2017), Basma Abdel Aziz’s The Queue (2016) (Egypt), Yamen Manai’s The Ardent Swarm (2021) (Tunisia). These literary works will be analyzed from a postcolonial perspective while the notions of oppression, exile, displacement, and marginalization will be put under scrutiny in that they played a major role in the process of Identity loss.
شهد العالم العربي العديد من الانتفاضات السياسية التي غيرت ولا تزال تغير تاريخ بعض البلدان. زودت هذه الأحداث المشهد الأدبي بمواد ومواضيع جديدة لمناقشتها وتمثيلها في الادب. أنوي في هذا البحث تتبع أحد أهم مفاهيم ما بعد الاستعمار؛ فقدان الهوية و عرض تطلعات وأحلام وآلام الشخصيات الخيالية التي وجدت نفسها محاصرة في مثل هذه الحالة أثناء أو بعد الربيع العربي. لهذا الغرض، سأستكشف أعمالًا خيالية من مصر وتونس وسوريا، وأتتبع فقدان الهوية في الشخصيات الرئيسية وأحللها من وجهة نظر ما بعد الاستعمار. عند القيام بذلك ، سيتم التركيز بشكل خاص على خمس روايات في فترة ما بعد الربيع العربي تصور تداعيات الربيع العربي في البلدان المذكورة أعلاه. وقد تركت الاضطرابات السياسية التي تشهدها هذه المناطق ندوبًا دائمة في حياة ساكنيها تمثلت في النصوص المختارة. تجادل هذه الدراسة بأن فقدان الهوية وتشويه آمال الشعوب كانت من بين النتائج الرئيسية للانتفاضات السياسية في الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا. سوف ألقي الضوء على الأحداث التي أحاطت بفقدان الهوية في: "الصمت إحساس" للكاتبة ليلى العمار ، "الموت عمل شاق" لخالد خليفة (سوريا) ، "المدينة تفوز دائمًا" لعمر روبرت هاملتون ، رواية بسمة عبد العزيز "الطابور"(مصر) ،" السرب المتقد "ليامن المناعي (تونس). سيتم تحليل هذه الأعمال الأدبية من منظور ما بعد الاستعمار بينما ستخضع مفاهيم الاضطهاد والنفي والتشريد والتهميش للتدقيق لأنها لعبت دورا رئيسيا في عملية فقدان الهوية.
